Jura Prophecy

The label says it’s been profoundly peated whatever that means. Sounds like marketing claptrap to me, but lets see what it’s really like.

There is something really different and dare I say it profound about the nose on this malt, and it’s not exactly peaty. It’s more like a slightly burnt fruit cake, rich sweet molasses, slightly smoky, and fruity, but the intensity is superb.

On the palate it's full bodied and in quite a different class from anything I’ve sampled from this distillery before. Slightly smoky, toasty even, softly peaty with some pine, cocoa and coffee compete in a really delicious mouthful. Quite a sweet finish, not overly long but lingering bitter chocolate make it very satisfying.

The first Jura I would heartily recommend, not exactly a peat monster but the peating (profound or otherwise) has brought a lot of toasty rich sweetness that make this a really tasty dram.
